 THE STAR SEEKERS

Geez, what am I, a teacher-bot?

No, but seriously, the Star Seekers are bots I know on a personal level—somewhat. ‘Course, we’re gonna have to start from the beginning.

A long, long time ago, there were these bandits who called themselves Maraudicons, led by a bot named Cannonball. Some say they’re leftovers from the Destrons. Maybe they are. Who cares?

Anyway, eventually the Maraudicons ended up with Trannis’ little Decepticon movement and Cannonball served as one of his warlords. After Cannonball bit it at Iacon, his pal Stompdown took command (and his name) and the Maraudicons broke off from the rest. That’s when they started calling themselves Star Seekers.

Stompdown’s little name-stealing thing started a tradition of sorts. When Stompdown got himself eviscerated on Vextor IX in 8109, Mayday became the next Cannonball. When she fell into a living lava pit on Vulcanus Major in 8707, a brute called Dreadwheel took the name from her.

Dreadweel didn’t last as long as the others though. Some time later, they picked up a bunch of Eukarians led by a bot called Thundertron. My guess is that they fled from Animatron when the Predacons took over. ‘Cos see, Thundertron hates Cybertronians. HATES them.

Honestly, it’s a wonder he lasted five years before marooning Dreadwheel on Tourin.

Anyway, this is where my ol’ buddy Headshot comes in. Fifteen years before Urtusk, he had gotten himself reassigned to Tyros VII to serve under Turmoil. After Turmoil fragged up and destroyed everything, the Star Seekers came and picked up Headshot. Thundertron only let him live ‘cos he had juicy info on the ‘Cons that they could use.

Frickin’ sell out. Never liked him to begin with.

Anyway, around the time I left the ‘Cons, I began hearing things about a new Cannonball. Apparently Thundertron had bitten it and Headshot had taken the reins, allowing Cybertronians back into the mix.

Lately, I’ve been hearing rumors that the Star Seekers are working with a group called the Pack, led by some Lio Prime or whatever. At this point, I’ve just stopped caring about ‘em. Losers, the whole lot of them.
